I guess my quilts are different, I always pre-wash, and my quilts always have a crinkly look, but of course, I am a hand quilter.
|
I prefer the crinkle look .... Looks soooo comfy
|
I also love the crinkly look in my quilts. I like the old and loved look that it gives to a quilt.
|
I love both. Each has it's own special place in the quilting world!
|
I prewash all my fabrics and wash and dry all my quilts as soon as the binding is on. They turn out crinkly but, the ones I use on my bed lays lay after a day or so. All of them crinkle a bit when washed and dried. Best way to get them flat is to do straight quilting. As with all aspects of quilting - different strokes for different folks. Not just one way to do anything.
I would like to see the heavily quilted quilts after they have been washed and dried. |
Ditto on both depends on what it is
|
Flat girl turned crinkly because everyone just loved the crinkly feel and you know what? They are right. It feels so good.It is fine with me if you like flat and un-crinkly too.

I agree that it depends on the quilt. I love the look of a "well loved" quilt, but wall hangings and items I do for others, they are "flat", as in not being washed. I prewash my fabrics and if I want that loved look...I add a layer of Warm and White cotton/poly batting...it shrinks just enough to give that "well loved" look.

Another question that will probably get people 'on one side of the fence or the other'
Do you prefer your finished item to be 'flat'? or Do you like your finished item to 'crinkle'? I will answer first - I positively, absolutely, final answer - prefer 'the flat look' - If you want to add 'why' you prefer one look or the other - - - I prefer 'flat' because that implies that everything has been shrunk before cutting - and the finished item will still be the approximately the same shape and size that it was before it's washed again. |
I like both it depends on the pattern.

I love a soft crinkled quilt to wrap up in. Which is the main reason I make quilts.
